| Description | Caricature shows S.L. Rothafel ("Roxy") conducting an orchestra while Arturo Toscanini looks on in disdain. Roxy was the colorful movie theater impresario who built the Roxy Theater, while Toscanini was the respected conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The caricature was an illustration for the "Impossible Interview, no. 15" in which Roxy derided Toscanini for the dullness and stiffness of his classical music and suggested that he liven things up by adding a ballet, soloists, and amplifiers in the balcony. |
